In this article:

If you want to know who really controls Precision Tsugami (China) Corporation Limited (HKG:1651), then you'll have to look at the makeup of its share registry. Insiders often own a large chunk of younger, smaller, companies while huge companies tend to have institutions as shareholders. We also tend to see lower insider ownership in companies that were previously publicly owned.

Precision Tsugami (China) is not a large company by global standards. It has a market capitalization of HK$2.4b, which means it wouldn't have the attention of many institutional investors.

What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Precision Tsugami (China)?

Institutions typically measure themselves against a benchmark when reporting to their own investors, so they often become more enthusiastic about a stock once it's included in a major index. We would expect most companies to have some institutions on the register, especially if they are growing.

As you can see, institutional investors own 13% of Precision Tsugami (China). This suggests some credibility amongst professional investors. But we can't rely on that fact alone, since institutions make bad investments sometimes, just like everyone does. When multiple institutions own a stock, there's always a risk that they are in a 'crowded trade'. When such a trade goes wrong, multiple parties may compete to sell stock fast. This risk is higher in a company without a history of growth. You can see Precision Tsugami (China)'s historic earnings and revenue, below, but keep in mind there's always more to the story.

Insider Ownership Of Precision Tsugami (China)

The definition of an insider can differ slightly between different countries, but members of the board of directors always count. Company management run the business, but the CEO will answer to the board, even if he or she is a member of it.

Most consider insider ownership a positive because it can indicate the board is well aligned with other shareholders. However, on some occasions too much power is concentrated within this group.

Our data suggests that insiders own under 1% of Precision Tsugami (China) Corporation Limited in their own names. It seems the board members have no more than HK$960k worth of shares in the HK$2.4b company. I generally like to see a board more invested. However it might be worth checking if those insiders have been buying.

General Public Ownership

With a 16% ownership, the general public have some degree of sway over 1651. While this size of ownership may not be enough to sway a policy decision in their favour, they can still make a collective impact on company policies.

Public Company Ownership

Public companies currently own 71% of 1651 stock. This may be a strategic interest and the two companies may have related business interests. It could be that they have de-merged. This holding is probably worth investigating further.
